Catheter is inserted into the urethra for draining the urine and removed once the bladder is empty. Available types include straight tip, hydrophilic, PVC, red rubber, silicone, latex, vinyl, lubricath and anti-bacterial catheters.

Indwelling catheters have a balloon like device which is inflated and inserted into the bladder through the urethra to hold the catheter in place. Also referred to as a Foley catheter, it is left in the bladder for a longer period of time.

Suprapubic catheters are indwelling catheters placed through a hole above the pubic bone into the bladder. This is done when the catheter cannot be inserted into the bladder through the urethra.

For someone who is wheelchair bound or is a pediatric patient, then closed system catheters are ideal because these are convenient to manage and bring down infection risks.

Apart from catheters, we also have related items which are equally important and without which catheterization is incomplete. Of these one is the drainage bag. This is used for collecting the urine that flows out of the body through the catheter. You can buy a leg bag for day use when you are active and moving around.
